Plots(1)
From the beginning, this picture-perfect family unit oozes with sick foreboding: a glowing young mom (Charlize Theron) and towheaded daughter (Dakota Fanning) bid farewell to Dad (Stuart Townsend), a successful physician, who's on his way to a lecture. Dad no sooner boards his commuter seaplane (which he pilots himself) than all three are separately taken hostage by sophisticated kidnappers (Kevin Bacon, Courtney Love, and Pruitt Taylor Vince), throwing their idyllic family life into jeopardy. (official distributor synopsis)

The whole script seemed sort of naive to me, I didn't enjoy Stuart Townsend’s performance at all, and the logic was shaky at times. The screenwriter equipped the main villain with two basic threats: "If you shoot me, your daughter will die." and for more intimate moments, "If you cut my dick off, your daughter will die." Two stars mainly for Kevin Bacon and Charlize Theron.
